Hahaha thats the COOOOOOOOOOOLEST thing ever, i still cant wipe the smile off my face.... i have to go print that out and hang it up in my manroom, it will take pride of place. Thank you soooooo much Mr.B..... i owe you a beer now................................................................."-)
Ive actually considered doing a faux rear dummy cylinder like Axelkoen's "28" boardtrack" build. Not sure yet......... I really like the simple vintage look of these engines.Gee,Harry...Those cylinders would look good as a "V"Twin set-up!...Just have ta make a sweet crankcase!...Make a nice Boardie engine too!....Tigmaster....
I thought so too Curt. I also would think that the flywheel weight would be required to make the engine run correctly. But i have seen a Victa like this one without a flywheel and electronic ignition fitted. In saying that i only saw a picture and have no idea how it ran, or if it did even run at all. Im no mechanic but learning along the way, which IMO is the best way. On this motor the flywheel shaft was damaged on the end so if it doesnt work out, no harm done.The flywheel doesn't it have magnetic pickup to fire the electronic ignition? That is a Victa? what year and cc is this one? .............Curt
Thanks Mr B, i totally agree. I actually like these engines (after a little cutting) more then the Villiers engines, they are bigger capacity and best of all Aussie made (i think).That's a good looking engine Harry,
Wish those were common in the states!

Thanks Wayne Z, one more question if i could? Do points and coils vary according to engine capacity and number of cylinders? In other words do i need to modify a points system off a motorcycle of similar engine configuration (single cylinder or multiple cylinders) and engine capacity or doesnt it matter?I would try adapting an igniton from a small motorcycle engine. Most all of them use a small round plate with points or sensor, with a hole in the center, for the cam or rotor for the sensor.
Yes you will need a battery and ignition coil too, but you can take them from the donor motorcycle. Personaly, I would try to use points ignition for it's simplicity.
